New Last Airbender Trailer

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YgaVe19zs8&feature=related

It seems they're making it in 3D now (surprise :roll: ).

I love how they made the Air Temples look.

Oh wow that looks absolutely terrible.

The actors and actresses don't look ANYTHING like the original characters look.

I knew this was a bad idea. :(

Wow, the guy that plays Zuko is the actor from Slumdog Millionaire? :? I also love how they whitewashed every other member of the cast. Avatar is based on East Asian culture, which makes me wonder why very few (if any) member of the cast is from East Asia.

I wonder how it will turn out. I doubt it will follow the original story line since its too long, I just hope it isnt terrible like the DBZ movie >_>

Theactors forAng, the two Water tribe kids, and the South Pole Water tribe Princess(forgot thier names) look terrible. I also think thecharacters look way too young, they should of got alittle more older actors. But the movie is looking pretty good, just hope it actually does end up being good and not a waste of money.

Of every possible race they could have thought of, they made the Fire Nation INDIAN? I also love how they whitewashed every other member of the cast. Avatar is based on East Asian culture, meaning that everybody in the movie should be of East Asian descent.

The water tribes are Eskimo and the earth kingdom is a melting pot. The most Asian cultures are the air nomads and the fire nation.Theokhoth

Not really...Just look at their fighting styles:

Ba Gua - Air

Hung Gar - Earth

Northern Shaolin Kung Fu - Fire

Tai Chi - Water

All four styles were created in China. The Avatar animated series heavily borrowed from Chinese, Japanese, Taoism, Buddhism, and Yoga. There is not a single mention of Eskimo or other non-East Asian influences. The furthest it goes beyond East Asia would be India (Avatar is a word in Sanskrit after all).

It'll fail as hard as Dragon Ball did...

Okay, nothing can fail that hard.

But it will fail.

Compare the looks, culture and location of the water tribes to that of Eskimo tribes. They're almost identical, down to the clothing. Even some of the characters are played by native American Indians. The South Pole especially.

India is in East Asia. . .and Avatar is a Hindu concept, originating in India.

The Earth Kingdom is the largest nation in the series and has a huge mix of people. Toph and Haru, for instance, don't look Asian at all, while the Kyoshi islanders look somewhat Asian.

The Air Nomads were clearly Chinese with Buddhist leanings; the Fire Nation was mainly Japanese.

Remember that there's not a single mention of any of these cultures in the show because the show is based in a fictional universe. They just take their influence from these cultures.

I'm a little geeky over this show. :P

Aang's actor is Asian American, and Zuko's is Indian American. As for the others, it really doesn't bug me as long as they're good.

I doesn't look so bad.

But I said the same thing about the Max Payne movie, so who knows...

Aang's actor looks like a freakin baby fighting with a stick. :x

I didn't see Zuko. I closed the window too soon.

Effects look kinda cool, that's about it

Aang speaks in this trailer. He doesn't sound like a baby.

Zuko's the one who says he won't rest until yadda yadda.

Personally. I hope they keep each fighting style original to their elemental counterparts. Espesically Hung Gar Earth element since it is my favouriteJJ_Productions

Well technically if he didn't get frozed, he would've been 12 in the first season. And he does kind of look like a 12 year old. :S

The only redeeming quality I see in it is that its going to be the North Pole battle it seems, which was always my favorite battle. Oh well, hopefully it will be good, but I doubt it.

Geeze harsh crowd.... it looked pretty cool to me:?

I mean seriously... everyone knows you don't throw fire you punch it....

I'm teasing here but man Off Topic is at times the harshest critics on the face of the earth:P

I noticed that too. It also looks like they can't create their own fire; in every single firebending scene, they all use a source, like the waterbenders.

looks good.

not be racist, but do the water benders (specifically the main two) look a little too...caucasion...to anyone else?

I thought everything else looked spot on, though.
